We were about to sell it. The car did not run - it must have sprouted wings and flown.

The car was flown here from England and arrived here Friday afternoon. It did not turn a wheel until this test. It was a very sleep-deprived weekend for the boys. It has been a big push, but thankfully the car was delivered as we expected. We are lucky that we are dealing with two companies like Lola and AER that are small, nimble and responsive. When ALMS announced this date a couple of months ago, we were looking at a late January delivery and Lola and AER stepped up and answered the call when we said we would like to make this event.

It'd be fun if we could run farther apart, but that's not going to sell many tickets.

I don't run a car, have never run a car. I could say that this is because I have this extremely tender environmentalist conscience, but the fact is I hate driving.

I'm not the typical ballplayer. I don't drive a fancy car like a lot of guys. I don't get wrapped up in a lot of stuff. I just like to play baseball and win. That's what I care about. The other stuff is political stuff and I don't worry about it.

If it was something expensive like a Mercedes, we could sell the car and pay some back.
